I used hideout, They took 4 weeks, and then I had to go and collect them the day before the race at mallory because they hadn't done them in time to post them, then they charged me £100. Not recomended,

the work is very good, can't knock them there, Not sure about price or service.

Thanks.

Maybe worth contacting one of the companies that Skidlids has listed ;-)

Another +1 for nine lives.
They replaced a panel in a sleeve of a Dainese jacket after I had an off a few years back.
Excellent work, price wasn't too bad.
Bit of a pain to get to but worth it

[skidlids]

Thanks for the input everyone.
It doesn't look as if I will be able to get to any until next week as onlygot tomorrow before i'm off to Donny to help Monty and Gordon with the DSC stand at the WSBk.
Which means I will only have 3 weeks to Oulton as such my mate Adrian has recommended a saddlers shop in Lambourn that have repaired his before so I'm going to take both suits in to see them and see what they say timescale wise. If they can't do it then I'll be popping in to Swindon

A couple of the links go direct to a pricing page so you should find the info there, one stated £45 for the zip in a one piece suit

Hideout do not seem (seam?) to be geared up for rapid turnarounds.
I have had alterations done and now have a spanking (oooer) new suit from them - superb quality but it wasn't quick (or cheap).

I use Cobra leathers all the time, noticed that the company had changed hands, as yet not used the new owner so can't comment on her work?

I had a zip put in for £30 which i reckon is a good price.
If you state you need it for a certain time/date they usually do yours as a priority but obviously will cost abit more.
I'm gonna take leather in soon to get a repair on the sleeve, so will know abit more soon about quality/time scales.

I've had some excellent work done on my Race leathers and Sue's 2-piece leathers by 'Hill 4 Leather' who are much easier to get to than Nine Lives :

Hill 4 Leather
86 South Lane, ALDERSHOT, Hampshire GU12 6NJ

Hill4leather seconded by me.. we've had a few jobs done by them for the race team and top quality and turn-around time is excellent. Really nice chaps who run the company.

Cheers Steve
If the shop in Lambourn can't do the work I think i'll give Cobra a try

Depends on what you need doing, my brother in law may be able to do it, hes altered mine and did a good job

Dobbs in Northampton is good, repaired my ANESS a few times, quickly and at a good price.

Easy to find just nr the Carlsberg depot in Northampton.

He likes bike racers too, good for business!!

Just let him know your timescales.
